Hydrogen peroxide is present in polar snow and ice in remarkably high concentrations. With values up to 300 ppb, H2O2 is one of the most concentrated impurities in polar ice. We present a continuous H2O2 firn record from Siple Station (Antarctica); it covers the last 83 years with a resolution of 10...
